Clegg and the World Cup bid

Posted by rich, 23 Aug 2010

Is it just me, or does Nick Clegg completely miss the point during his statement to the FIFA inspection team?

Apart from the fact he nearly called them the infection team, he spent well over half of his statement talking about himself and the coalition rather than how England is the best country for hosting the 2018 World Cup.

And if I was part of FIFA and heard a chap saying that England's World Cup was "unbeatable", I'd be thinking to myself: "Well, matey, that's for me to decide".

(I know sport and politics doesn't mix very well. It's just Clegg's smugness in the power he holds that gets my goat and makes me post this stuff. #nickcleggsfault, and all that.)
